Absolutely. I'm a massive fan of Stanhope he's brilliant. I think Carlin was like a slightly more light hearted version of Lenny Bruce, where Stanhope is like Hicks but with added bitterness, which is what I like in a comedian. Guys like Michael Macintyre however just make me want to stab my eardrums with a knitting needle. Observational comedy about familys and 'everyday life' just fucking bursts me.
